backOn January 17, 2024, at its annual meeting in Davos, the World Economic Forum released The Future of Growth Report 2024, proposing a structural reassessment of traditional economic growth metrics. While not exclusively focused on artificial intelligence, the report identifies technological innovation, including AI, as a key driver of high-quality growth alongside sustainability, inclusiveness and resilience. The new multidimensional framework evaluates 107 economies beyond GDP performance alone.
The report warns that global growth could decline to its lowest level in three decades by 2030 amid ongoing economic and geopolitical disruptions. In this context, it calls for policy strategies that integrate digital transformation and innovation as central pillars of development, balancing economic efficiency with long-term societal objectives. The publication also marks the launch of the Future of Growth Initiative, a two-year effort aimed at supporting policymakers and experts in redesigning growth models for a new economic era.
